🔍 Key Concepts

• VHF Channel 16 is the international hailing and distress frequency • Proper procedure is to establish contact on 16, then agree on a working channel and move off 16 • A correct reply usually includes your vessel name, call sign (if applicable), and the channel you want to use next

💭 Think About

• Which option both acknowledges the call AND suggests a specific working channel to shift to, instead of staying on 16? • Which answer sounds most professional and complete from a radio-procedure standpoint: does it identify the vessel clearly and give clear instructions? • Think about whether "we're busy" or "pick a channel" would meet good safety and communication practices on an emergency/hailing channel.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice includes your vessel name and (optionally) call sign • Verify which option moves the conversation off Channel 16 to a specific working channel • Check that the response remains brief, clear, and professional and does not keep routine traffic on Channel 16 longer than necessary
